Team Organization: Use the repository name in in the reference repository

[bkhouri]

What feature do you want to see added?

As a maintainer of the Team Organization job configuration, I want to be able to reference the project repository name via a variable or something so I can configure the * Advanced clone behaviours -> Path of the reference repo to use during clone* to have it point to the REPO name.

Reasoning:
We have a few large repositories in the BitBucket project which take minutes to clone. We currently hit the clone time twice (once from the Jenkins controller) and once per agent. We would like to reduce this time by cloning certain repositories on the controller and agents, and have the configuration clone from the reference repo to speed the clone times.

We have the following, simplified, jobDSL that configures the job

organizationFolder('tfo_org_folder') {
    organizations {
        bitbucket {
            serverUrl('https://bitbucket-instance.company.com')
            credentialsId('bitbucket.username.password')
            repoOwner('PROJECT_KEY')
            traits {
                cloneOption {
                    extension {
                        reference('/var/jenkins/git/reference/<REPO>')  // I want to replace <REPO> with something that references the repository
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
    projectFactories {
        workflowMultiBranchProjectFactory {
            scriptPath('pipelines/Jenkinsfile')
        }
    }
}
